Fashion Styling & Creative Direction
Bachelor's degree (180 CFA equivalent to 180 ECTS credits) recognized by the Ministry of University and Research
Title revision request under validation by Ministry of University and Research in: Fashion Communication & Image
The Bachelor Degree course in Fashion Styling & Creative Direction (recognized by Italian Ministry of University and Research) encourages students to create their own visual culture (i.e. to develop an aesthetic sense and artistic direction), which can then be applied to any professional project in which they will be involved.
The three-year Bachelor Degree Course mixes traditional media with digital tools. This course is the translation of fashion language into multimedia: students receive a 360-degree view of a certain aesthetic and narrative with graphic languages typical of the sector.
Upon completion of the Course, students are trained to be able to design and produce photo shoots (commercial and editorial), advertising campaigns, fashion films, fashion magazines starting from the conception of the creative idea to its realisation , and will thus be able to coordinate production teams.
During the academic path at Istituto Marangoni, the student experiences the production phases and a research methodology that he/she will later find in the working world. The research folder and the technical book can be considered as the real learning tools.
Figures such as the Fashion Stylist, the Photographer, the Art Director, and the Fashion Editor are fashion professionals who, during their academic training, have learnt the taste and design narrative and visual languages of fashion brands and media.
Once in the working world, this experienced figure will then be able to market any campaign.
This professional figure is required to have an all-round preparation in the cultural field, and can therefore be defined as a ‘director of images’, working in the artistic direction of a fashion film rather than for a fashion show.
In Milan, students can explore an environment rich in professional opportunities. The city offers a vibrant styling scene, with numerous publishing houses, photographic studios and fashion casting for models.
Milan, along with cities such as London and New York, is a creative hub for photographers and fashion stylists, offering unique networking and working opportunities with Industry top brands even during the students' academic experience.

SECOND YEAR
The main objective of the second year is to enable students to develop a professional and creative approach to fashion styling and creative direction. Students are encouraged to experiment, explore new ideas and build a personal magazine that demonstrates their ability to combine technical skills with a strong aesthetic vision. It is a crucial time for skills development, as the technical and theoretical knowledge acquired in the first year is deepened, with a greater focus on the ability to interpret and anticipate fashion trends, develop a critical and personal vision, and hone the practical skills needed to work in the industry. The approach used is hands-on, where theory is closely linked to practice. Lessons are supported by workshops, creative labs and masterclasses with industry professionals. Students are also encouraged to develop personal projects, always under the guidance of experienced lecturers and tutors.
THIRD YEAR

The training approach of the third year is strongly oriented towards project-based learning, with a combination of intensive workshops, critical reviews, and masterclasses with experts in the field. Students are guided in the autonomous management of their projects, receiving continuous feedback from the lecturers and external professionals involved in the various modules. Students develop advanced skills in video production and post-production, using professional software and visual storytelling techniques to communicate innovative fashion concepts: they must demonstrate not only mastery of technical and creative skills, but also the ability to think strategically and work independently in a professional context.
